So here is a cultural question for all of you- Is mindfulness a culturally appropriate/responsive practice? There is some evidence for it as being effective- but that is different question than cultural relevance- It comes from Buddhist practices originally- a bit like Yoga comes from India- but now is integrated in all kinds of different ways in education and psychology (e.g., mindfulness-based positive behavior support?). I am not sure it has much roots in African or Hispanic cultures…and perhaps on the Catholic side there is spiritual exercises that are very similar to mindfulness...and the Greek stoics practiced something similar I believe. Psychology certainly westernizes and decontextualizes it as a practice… MDB Ps- the study is actually pretty cool though for those of you into group research. https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.20... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindfulness https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoga
